Along with the release of the Windows 7 release candidate came new system requirements for Microsoft's next operating system. This updated set of requirements has been declared final, making them the official system requirements for Windows 7 final. Seeing Microsoft's rather... Dubious past dealings with minimum system requirements, let's take a look at Windows 7's.

I don't think the mimimum requirements are that bad, it would just be nice to see that 512MB is sufficient. Other modern OS's run very nice with that amount, I think it should also be possible for Microsoft to do so. Maybe somebody can test?
In that case it only takes much more disk space, maybe for a next windows version?
Anyway I'll stay with ubuntu, but my next might be an Apple.
